Merge frecon Xserver patch into chroagh #89

ccaapton commented 9 years ago

Hi, could you merge the frecon stuff into chroagh? My acer C720 stable branch is now in frecon mode and I can not start Xserver now. Thx!

falafflepotatoe commented 9 years ago

yea i cant start xserver either -- i think chrome os ust updated

i was going to try to update croagh but i cant find the instructions on the readme (is it even possible?) cheers

you can still get into chroot by doing enter-chroot

but im not sure what pkg to update?

rperce commented 9 years ago

To update croagh, inside the chroot navigate to the directory in ~/Downloads in lives in and run

git fetch --all
get reset --hard origin/master

...but it hasn't updated in three months. For Xserver, you can remove the xorg target and add the xiwi one (removal has to be done by editing /etc/crouton/targets in the chroot), then update, and you can xinit to get a in-chrome-os window that works, albeit not at the same speed, and Freon eats some key combos. But it mostly works!

I have merged the current master of crouton into chroagh in my fork (http://github.com/jsspencer/chroagh). I have not tested it beyond launching a plain X session using xinit. Unfortunately this only works as root---as a normal user I get

(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)

So more work is needed. Sadly I haven't had any success tracking it down so far.
